Mini Home Tour | Foyer

Welcome to my mini home tour. Here's a little peek into our current home. It's a rental, so don't judge… I'm no professional. :)

 I'll begin with our entry area. I found the mirror at Carolina Pottery a few months ago and knew that I just had to have it. The green asian-inspired console was a gift from my parents and is from Tibet. The garden stool was passed down from my grandparents. Everything on the table was found at various thrift stores: the orchid, pot, frame, acrylic tray, brass birds, and books. The silhouette is of me from childhood. So glad that I have held onto it for all of these years!

Color Crush | Tangerine


Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year is Tangerine Tango, and I am loving it! Dress your home in it or dress yourself in this yummy reddish, orange goodness...

Best Foot Forward | Friday's Fancies

What better way to start the new year off on the right foot (pun intended) than by wearing a pair of Tory Burch flats? Black is timeless and can easily be dressed up or down, making this pair the perfect pair!

Winterplace Vacay

We finished 2011 off at Winterplace Ski Resort in West Virginia, and it was a spectacular finish to a wonderful, fun-filled year. We stayed in one of the chalets at the resort that you literally ski out of and onto the slopes. We stayed there 12 years ago, and boy was it different and much more appreciated this time around, with children in the picture. It was the perfect family getaway!

The best is yet to come.

Resolutions 2011 copy

Those are just a few of the things that I want to focus more on + achieve this year. The list really could go on and on... there's just so much I want to improve upon. I need a healthier balance and the time has come to prioritize. So, what is on your "list" for 2012? Here is what I'm starting with:

1. eat healthier
2. get my pre-baby body back
3. get creative in the kitchen (try those recipes I've had bookmarked for months)
4. serve more
5. be in more pictures
6. enjoy total quiet
7. kiss my boys more (if that's possible)
